Applies to System Install.

Since all the NSO examples and README steps that come with the installer are primarily aimed at Local Install, you need to modify them to run them on a System Install.

To work with the System Install structure, this may require a little or bigger modification depending on the example.

For example, to port the example.ncs/development-guide/nano-services/basic-vrouter example to the System Install structure:

  1. Make the following changes to the basic-vrouter/ncs.conf file:

    <enabled>false</enabled>
    <ip>0.0.0.0</ip>
    <port>8888</port>
    -<key-file>${NCS_DIR}/etc/ncs/ssl/cert/host.key</key-file>
    -<cert-file>${NCS_DIR}/etc/ncs/ssl/cert/host.cert</cert-file>
    +<key-file>${NCS_CONFIG_DIR}/etc/ncs/ssl/cert/host.key</key-file>
    +<cert-file>${NCS_CONFIG_DIR}/etc/ncs/ssl/cert/host.cert</cert-file>
    </ssl>
    </transport>
  2. Copy the Local Install $NCS_DIR/var/ncs/cdb/aaa_init.xml file to the basic-vrouter/ folder.

Other, more complex examples may require more ncs.conf file changes or require a copy of the Local Install default $NCS_DIR/etc/ncs/ncs.conf file together with the modification described above, or require the Local Install tool $NCS_DIR/bin/ncs-setup to be installed, as the ncs-setup command is usually not useful with a System Install. See for more information.
